LaRouche: If Mankind Does Not Fulfill His Creative Duties, There’s No Force to Make the Existence of the Solar System Worthwhile

In discussion on Sunday evening, Lyndon LaRouche pointed to the Schiller Institute event in Manhattan on Saturday, February 14, as a complete success, and stressed that it is crucial that the material presented at the event, keynoted by Helga Zepp-LaRouche, be circulated fully in the U.S. and internationally.

Secondly, he stressed that too many people are too much in a dream state to be able to engage in serious thinking. People need to get out of bed and stop sleep-walking.

In the coming week, mankind is faced with two crises for which it is ill-prepared, by the very fact that too many people look at human beings as animals, rather than seeing human beings in the way that Johannes Kepler viewed mankind, as having the mission and capacity to develop the Solar System upon which mankind at the same time depends.

As of midnight, February 15, a ceasefire went into effect in Southeast Ukraine. If this ceasefire fails to hold, the world is precariously close to thermonuclear extinction. Despite Barack Obama and Victoria Nuland, whose Nazis — like the Right Sector and the Azov battalion — are pledged to violate the ceasefire, Hollande, Merkel, Putin, and Poroshenko spoke with each other on Sunday and plan to continue that discussion on Monday, because they know that the Minsk agreement may be humanity’s last chance.

Also, on Monday, the representatives of Greece will be meeting with the Eurogroup in Brussels. With the support of over 60% of the Greek population, they will stand firm against the continuation of the genocidal austerity policy imposed on the Greek population by the Troika of the EU, the ECB, and the IMF.

On Sunday night, more than 20,000 Greeks demonstrated in the streets of Athens outside the parliament under the theme: “The Greek people against austerity.”

These two crises are only the most immediate ones facing humanity. The crises threatening human existence continue to proliferate.

Lyndon LaRouche emphasized that we are at the end of this moment of history and that to fill in the last crack of that history is a mistake. What is needed is a new concept unfamiliar to most, because most human beings don’t know the difference between animals and human beings.

No animal could ever master the laws of the Solar System. No animal even has an idea that its existence depends on the Solar System or that it has a responsibility to develop the Solar System. Only man can have such an idea and has the capacity to exercise such a responsibility.

Looked at from that standpoint, how could any human being tolerate the arming of Nazis in Ukraine? How could any human being support the genocide being perpetrated by the Troika against Greece and elsewhere? How could any human being tolerate Victoria Nuland not being immediately fired for the crimes she has committed in Ukraine, not to mention Libya? How could any human being tolerate Barack Obama in the U.S. Presidency? How could any human being tolerate the money changers in the temple of Mammon on Wall Street?

Man is not an animal. He has a divine mission to build a mass movement for development, not only of this planet, but of the Solar System as a whole.

As LaRouche stressed on Sunday, we don’t have much time. Civilization may be on the verge of extinction. We have to inspire people to levels they have never touched before and it can be done.

In this light, LaRouche pointed out that the key, not only to mankind’s continued existence, but to the fulfillment of his nature and mission as man, and not as an animal, is Johannes Kepler’s understanding of the Solar System. The following remarks made by LaRouche on Tuesday, February 10, go directly to the point at hand:
